American Speeches
| Customer Rating: | Great American Speeches (Library of Freedom)
How many snippets of speeches do we know? "I have a dream;" "Give me liberty or give me death;" "Four-score and seven years ago ..." are just a few. Did you ever wish you had the full text of the speech? Here is a good source for the full text of these famous bits of Americanna. Students of American history need to understand the words that formed America as it was and is. Teachers of American history have here a source for the information to show their pupils why we are the America we are. For a low price, this is a valuable resource. |
Great American Speeches
| Customer Rating:  | This is an important volume of reproduced primary resources. For those who take history seriously, for those teaching that subject from Middle school through graduate courses, this volume is an indispensible addition to their personal libraries.
It is always valuable to read the original texts of American oration, whether one is in favor the the persons' points of view or not. Great American Speeches provides a unique insight into the perspecitives, insights and philosophies of those addressing an American audience during several periods of this country's unique history. It is a extrordinary book and more such texts need to be made available in time to come. |
A Must Read, A Must Have.
| Customer Rating: | | This is an amazing collection of speeches. Suriano does a clever job at selecting specific speeches from Americas history. He does not select random speeches, rather he selects those that exemplify and embody the issues that plagued or benefitted America at the time these were written. One can read this entire book and have an understanding of what was going on in the 1770's, 1860's, 1990's, etc. He does not only select speeches that show America in the most glorious light, he also selects those that depict America as a dimming failure. I highly recommend this book as it is an excellent tool, in it of itself, for combating the ignorance that plagues this country. In reading this book people will see that some of the issues we face today, are repeats of what America went through before and continues to go through now. This book is an excellent source of information for the novice historian, or an excellent supplemental piece for the advanced researcher. To put it in simple terms, I love this book. |
A Patchwork Quilt of History
| Customer Rating: | | This is a small collection of speeches given by America's great thinkers and leaders. Suriano goes beyond the orators of government and politics. I enjoy the fact that famous speeches I have only heard a few lines to are now provided for me in full. Given the number of famous speeches, I believe Suriano has done an excellent job in his selection. |
